Roasting pans come in all shapes and sizes and materials from metal, porcelain and even copper.

This is perfect for slow-roasting and cooking at a lower temperature as the carbon steel core doesn’t get too hot in the oven and we also love the oval shape which is ideal for that festive turkey.

Cooks Standard 14-Inch Stainless Steel Roaster with Rack – $39

This is a weightier roasting pan as it is made from heavy-gauge stainless steel so it will last and last. We like the handles which make it easier to take the pan out of the oven when it’s hot.

Made from a really heavy-grade aluminium means that you get an even heat distribution throughout and you can fit a turkey that weighs up to 25 pounds inside. This is a set that comes with a turkey baster and serving forks.

Two sizes of roasting pans available here which are large and extra-large, both sizes feature a three-ply construction that retains heat through the steel layers and the aluminium core.
